I know this isn’t the answer to your question, but one thing you should really keep an eye out for while you’re still here is steak tips - either in a store or at restaurants.

AFAIK they’re a local-ish thing and are generally a cheap way to enjoy steak. And even on top of that, because they’re generally fairly tough cuts of meat, lots of places have unique ways of marinating/tenderizing them.

It’s not exactly free, but most T stations have small parking lots that charge ~$5 to park all day. And, depending on which one you park at (I used to to do this at Eliot station on the green line a lot), you can often skip paying and no one will ticket you. And if they do, it only costs $1 over the original rate (at least it used to).

no joke, commuting is some of the most soul crushing time you can spend on this planet. For those interested in slightly off kilter suggestion, get a bunch of people you like and buy a house together. Splitting a mortgage 5 ways for a multi-family is pretty affordable (at least compared to the rents these days) you can live in the city, pretty close to your job, walk or bike there, and honestly if you like the people, and have a lawyer work up a little agreement its not so bad.

Does this fix anything with the larger structural problems? No it doesn't. Might it get you a nice place to live close to your job...maybe?
